Informatica Data Privacy vs. VGS platform

In most circumstances, production data is necessary in staged environments in order to test and validate various test cases and scenarios. Real-time data, on the other hand, comprises sensitive information such as credit/debit card numbers, user names and passwords, and any other personal details that cannot be disclosed. As a result, this tool may be used to mask vital data with fake but realistic data in order to execute a variety of actions in the development and quality assurance environments. In order to protect the privacy and security of users' data, as well as to prevent future risk.

If you are working with payments and you don`t want to store that kind of data to avoid a lot of strict requirements and headaches with tight processes, strict security, encryption and everything else you can leverage VGS platform to greatly reduce the work needed to enable payments in your system. They also provide tokenization for some other kinds of data but we currently do not use them. VGS platform also provides a product for compliance and controls (VGS Control) which helps you get ready and maintain compliance in your organization.

We evaluated Drata as an alternative for VGS Control, but VGS platform control integrates a lot of controls around VGS itself and also with Cloud Infra that we use, which makes the process faster. Also keeping everything with the same vendor makes things easier to manage.
